Debra Newell
Debra Newell is nothing if not a survivor. By the time she met John Michael Meehan online, she lived through a near-fatal childhood illness, an attempted rape in her 20s, the traumatic death of her sister at the hands of her brother-in-law, four failed marriages, and a litany of dating disasters. But despite those tragedies, she seemed to have it all: adoring children, a successful business, a fabulous penthouse apartment.
But there was something missing: the blinding, all-consuming love she first read about to occupy her time in her childhood sickbed. And she thought she found it with John Meehan.
More than a tabloid-ready true-crime expose, Debra's story is one of trauma, denial, and deception. But it is also a relatable, inspirational, and hopeful story of forgiveness, and, most of all, love. The lengths to which a woman will go to find - and keep - love; the boundaries children and parents cross to protect and save the people they love; the love one must find for oneself; and the ways the illusion of love can be used to manipulate and hurt.

Such an important story

Don’t be put off by (in my opinion, unjust) criticisms of author’s reading

I feel sympathetic towards the victim. But it's hard to hear her be so absolutely naive over and over again. I just wanted to shake her and say, "What's wrong with you?"
Narrator doesn't tell story well

choosing this man over her own kids at first. Debra also strikes me as very foolish throughout the story. Needless to say, after going through some abusive experiences myself, i will purposefully remain single forever! Men are scum!!!
Wow!

Overall I know what it is like to be victim blamed and I could relate to the story. I think it’s horrible what this woman went through and how people treated her.
I can relate to this story due to past abuse and a horribly manipulative ex husband
